Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 7, 2002 right now, for some reason or other my 1/exclamation mark isn't working. I dunno when in the near future i can be arsed to fix it, so i've decided to let you, my mostly beloved smart marks to decide which otherwise functionless key i should use in it's place. some possibilities would be the €, as in PERRY SATURN~€ the %, as in THE SMITHS~% the {, as in KING OF THE WORLD~{ or even the }, as in CHEAT TO WIN~} i give you the floor. You see how hard my life as an online mark is. Help. EDIT: no wise guy i can't be bothered to paste one all the time. I'm that lazy, and this is mildly more fun.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 7, 2002 I like "€," if only due to it not being on my Yank keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted October 7, 2002 But yeah, go with the Euro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 7, 2002 i thought the euro and percentage signs looked best, yeah. And that a good point that most people here don't have the euro, so it would be a personal touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 7, 2002 Go with the percentage signs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 7, 2002 I don't think i've EVER seen the percentage sign used on this board. I'd assume talk of gross domestic product and the like in current events would require it, but i don't really go in there. It certainly looks better with the'~'. And really, that's what i'm going to use it for, sigh. AWK~% hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
